Returning to the county office, just in time for lunch.

The county government is in charge of rice, and he is in charge of three meals a day.

Zhang Junping naturally didn't eat with the officials, he also ate at the county office, but he ate in the flower hall, and the food he ate was specially made for him by the chef.

The meals are very hearty, and Muping County is located on the seaside, so there is naturally no shortage of seafood.

This can be seen in the diet.

For example, Zhang Junping's lunch is a steamed grouper, a plate of boiled prawns, two green vegetables, a cabbage, a tofu, and a cup of sea cucumber soup.

Sea cucumber is a good thing in this era, since Qin Shi Huang, it has always been a royal treasure, only the palace and the family, the powerful can enjoy it.

Even the Zhang family, when he was in Beijing, Zhang Junping was reluctant to buy sea cucumbers to eat.

In this era, sea cucumbers, needless to say, are all wild in nature, the most important thing is fishing, there is no diving equipment in this era, it all depends on the water nature of fishermen, that is, naked diving.

Without borrowing diving equipment, it is really not possible for ordinary people to dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than ten or twenty meters to catch sea cucumbers.

Even coastal fishermen have to be trained from an early age, and those who can go to the sea to catch sea cucumbers are top fishermen.

Fishing for cucumbers is no easier than picking bird's nest on a cliff.

It's all about making money and working hard for life.

It is precisely in this way that sea cucumbers, bird's nests, and abalone have always been expensive tonic products.

Zhang Junping, as the magistrate of Muping County, is the first to get the moon near the water, as long as he wants, he can eat fresh sea cucumber and abalone every day.

Because, Muping County's Yangma Island is rich in sea cucumber and abalone, and most importantly, the seabed here is relatively shallow, not as deep as some sea cucumber and abalone production areas in the south, fishing sea cucumber and abalone is one of the main sources of income for local fishermen, and it is also one of the specialties of Muping County.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, Zhang Junping called the pusher over.

Yesterday's few cases, the others are simple, nothing more than a matter of mud, as long as the case of not paying back the money is more tricky.

One said that he owed money, the other said that he did not borrow money, and there was no direct evidence, which belonged to the bad debts of the public saying that the public was justified and the mother saying that the mother was reasonable.

However, as the magistrate of Muping, Zhang Junping can't ignore it.

"How's the investigation of yesterday's case of money owed?"

"Back to Zhi County, I don't have a clue, Zhang San said that he lent money to Li Si, but there is no IOU, and there is no middleman, so Li Si denies it, and there is no way to do it!

Xu Yes...... Xu is the one who sees that Li Si has recently made a fortune, so he will start blackmailing? ”

"Handling cases cannot rely on speculation, let alone subjective assumptions!

In this way, you call Zhang San over! ”

"Yes!"

Soon Zhang San was taken to the lobby.

"The county officials, the county officials are the ones who want to know the county to be the masters of the small ones! Seek knowledge of the county officials for the small ones! As soon as he entered the lobby, Zhang Sanpu knelt down and cried and begged Zhang Junping to make the decision for him.

Zhang Junping couldn't help frowning, it was really too harsh for this big official, in this era, it is right to call the official an official and the emperor an official.

However, when he thought of the few big officials in the Water Margin, Zhang Junping felt uncomfortable.

"Zhang San, you get up and talk first!" Zhang Junping raised his hand gently, signaling Zhang San to get up first.

"Xie Zhi County official!"

"Zhang San, you said to lend Li Si three times! Is it right that Li Si doesn't pay off his debts? ”

"Yes, the small one is frugal, and finally saved three times, last summer Li Si asked me to borrow money, saying that it was for the old mother to see a doctor, I saw that he was pitiful, so I lent him the money, and the original agreement was to return it at the end of the year, who knows...... Who knows that Li Siwolf has dog lungs, and he doesn't say anything about it, and he doesn't admit that I lent him money, but he falsely accuses me of blackmail!

Seek knowledge of the county officials to make decisions for me! ”

"Okay, let me ask you, what is your relationship with that Li Si?"

"Li Si and I are neighbors!"

"Well, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and this relationship lent him money in the past!

Then let me ask you again, what do you do for a living, and what does Li Si do for a living? Zhang Junping asked Zhang San softly without hurry.

"I do odd jobs on the docks for a living!" Zhang San replied honestly.

"What about Li Si?"

"Li Si first worked as a runner in the teahouse! Afterward...... Later, he followed his distant cousin to the sea to fish! ”

Zhang Junping looked at Zhang San carefully, and saw that this Zhang San was skinny, no more than five feet tall, and he looked very obscene, no wonder the officials concluded that Zhang San was blackmailing.

Sometimes, looks can make a big difference.

For example, work, such as being an official, such as this lawsuit.

Li Si is five feet seven inches tall, dignified, and fair-looking, and can run a hall in a teahouse, while Zhang San can only do odd jobs on the dock.

The so-called chores are to help people unload and unload goods, move and lift some work, and the wages are not guaranteed, all depending on the mood of the owner, and the mood is good to give a few pennies.

If you are in a bad mood, you will not be given a penny, and you will only be scolded for a beating.

"Well, I know!

Because you lent money to Li Si, there is no IOU, and there is no certifier, so the official can't directly sentence Li Si to repay the money!

You still need to investigate carefully, you go back first, and when the official finds out the truth, he will definitely return justice to you! Zhang Junping said gently.

"Xie Zhi County official!" Zhang San kowtowed to Zhang Junping and left the lobby dejectedly.

"Sun Dutou, what do you think of this matter?"

"Back to Zhixian County, look at that Zhang San, with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, he must be blackmailing Li Si!" Sun Xu didn't even think about opening his mouth.

"Humph!" Zhang Junping snorted coldly, "As the head of the county's government team, how can you be so arbitrary in handling the case?"

When does it take a look to look at the appearance of the case?

If that's the case, what else do you want these servants to do? What else do you want to do? ”

"The lesson of the county is that it is the subordinates who are arbitrary, and please atone for the county!"

"Sun Dutou, Li Tuiyi, the two of you, send someone to investigate a few things, first, Zhang San is usually a person!

Second, Zhang San is begging for a living on the dock, you can find acquaintances to ask about their income!

Third, go and investigate to see if Li Si's mother was sick last summer, and in which hospital she saw the doctor, how much did it cost!

Fourth, investigate Li Si's personality, especially what expenses he usually has! ”

"Yes! The subordinates will send someone to investigate! ”

Zhang Junping listed the direction of the one, two, three, and four investigations, and the shield immediately shocked the pusher Li Sheng, it turned out that the investigation could still be done like this.

Busy and Sun Xu agreed loudly, turned around and arranged for someone to investigate according to Zhang Junping's request.

"Zhixian, did you say that Zhang San blackmailed, or did Li Si owe money and didn't pay it back?" Zhou Quan asked in a low voice.

"It's not me who says, but look at the facts, look at the evidence!

Let the facts speak for themselves, let the evidence do the talking! ”
